In Enrichment Clusters, teachers and vol­unteers from the commu­nity are teaching students about cake decorating, Web design, soap making, jew­elry making, scrapbooking, aviation and science.

The sessions take place four times a year. The third session of the year was in February. Students select which classes they want to take first and then progress through the other offerings of the Enrichment Clusters throughout the school year.
